Summary
[edit]
Rationale for the fair use of this image in the articles Dissolution of the Soviet Union:
- The Russian Government has yet to release images of the era into public domain (copyright expires after 50 years)
- The image is used to show readers the final moment of the USSR's collapse
- The image is being used in an informative way
- The image is a small, web-resolution image
- The image is used to illustrate the event in which the article centres
- The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and for no other purpose
